I wasn't looking at gun prices much until 1974. But then, & a few more years, most S&W's for instance, were very hard to get with prices of many models at double retail. I don't know if that was left over from the gun control act if '68, or elections at the time. Both?
The Clinton years were crazy for many items, but one distinct memory was primers. They nearly dried up over night. Hi cap mags, if you could find them were double to 4 times retail.
Everybody here should know of the events during Obama.
This time around has multiple causes for stocking up. Not just an election, or riots, or pandemics but Theo Gallis pretty much nailed it. More/faster info, excessive doom & gloom coupled with misinformation.
I'll preach it again. Fake news & even the media in general is the root of most fears, panics, disorientation & just plain screwed up attitudes of so many.
